Chapter 22 It's Fate After All
When Sang Luo returned to the former site of the Kordo tribe, the place had already turned into ruins and all the houses and buildings had collapsed. If she had not found the standing stone tablet under the old locust tree at the entrance of the village, she would have almost lost the place.
Everyone had already run away.
Sang Luo stayed in the ruins for half a day, and in the afternoon he went to another forest along the direction the tribal orcs had fled before. Seeing that it was getting late, he wanted to find a nearby tribe to rest.
These few days have been rare warm days in the cold season. The snow on the dirt road has melted into broken ice, and the ice in some small rivers has also melted.
Sang Luo walked to the river, squatted down, scooped up a handful of icy river water with both hands and splashed it on her face to wash off the powder on her face.
I threw away my wig too; it was too stuffy to wear.
"Luo, Luoluo...is that you?"
A familiar voice suddenly came from behind.
Sang Luo looked back and saw a slightly shorter and more beautiful female on the other side of the river staring at her. She had a piece of animal fur wrapped on her head, covering half of her face, and it was tied several times around her neck to keep warm.
"Li Man, long time no see." Sang Luo said with a friendly smile.
Li Man came up quickly, carrying a bamboo basket, her eyes red. "I... I thought I was seeing things, it really is you! You're still alive!"
The female in front of him had beautiful black hair, delicate skin, a healthy and rosy complexion, and a radiant look. She was even more beautiful than before he left! It was obvious that she had been well-fed in the past two weeks. Sang Luo was wearing a piece of expensive silk material. When she just walked to that station, Li Man thought she had seen a goddess by the river and was stunned!
"You were taken away by that stray beast, and we all thought you were dead." Li Man walked up quickly, held her hand, and tears couldn't stop flowing down.
Anubia was regarded as a stray animal by them. Indeed, this kind of behavior of snatching females was usually a dirty thing that only stray animals could do.
"Don't worry, I'm fine. I later met a noble person who helped me escape." Sang Luo smiled, but didn't intend to explain. He looked at the tiger orcs walking behind Li Man and asked, "Which new tribe have you joined?"
She had never seen this male beast before. It was level four and very powerful. It seemed that Li Man had collected it from the new tribe.
Generally, when large tribes take in females from other tribes, they must allow them to pair up with at least one male from their own tribe before they can enjoy the tribe's protection.
"Most of the orcs in the Kordo Tribe died in that beast tide. We had no choice but to join the Thousand Elephants Tribe for refuge. The Thousand Elephants Tribe is a large tribe, and the tribe leader is a seventh-level elephant, very powerful! There are many wonderful things in the tribe that we have never seen before! Luoluo, which tribe are you living in now? Do you want to stay too?"
Sang Luo shook his head and smiled, "I came back this time just to take a look and ask you something... Has Lan Cang ever come back to look for you?"
Li Man nodded excitedly and said, "We all thought he was dead, but he turned up a few days later. The tribe was migrating at the time, and he was very worried when he saw you were gone. He asked many people about your whereabouts, but you... well, the tribe leader told him you were dead. Lan Cang was very distraught at the time, and later, he didn't stay and left."
"Do you know where he went?"
Li Man shook her head. "I'm not really sure about that, but I heard the conversation between the old patriarch and him. Lan Cang seems to be an orc from the Western Continent. He has no ties to the Koldo Tribe anymore, so he should have returned to the Western Continent."
Sang Luo found a world map in Caesar's study. The Alans Empire occupied nearly half of the territory of the Western Continent. In addition, there were independent forces from all sides in the Western Continent. Dozens of forces were mixed together, and they divided the land to become kings... Not to mention, the area of the Western Continent alone was larger than that of the Earth!
Trying to find him for a reunion is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Sang Luo sighed. It seemed that she and this man were not destined to be together.
However, it is enough to know that Lan Cang is still alive.
The pain of losing his wife will dissipate after a while. With his strength, he can still find a second spring and have a litter of little wolf cubs.
It's time for her to let it go.
"It's getting late. I'd like to stay in the tribe for one night. Is that convenient?"
"That's convenient, I'll take you there! Doji and the others will definitely be happy to see you back alive!"
Although Sang Luo is a female from another tribe, females are precious resources for the entire animal world, and she is also someone Li Man and the others know. The chief of the Qianxiang tribe is also very friendly. He specially asked someone to vacate an empty room for her to live in, and said that it is okay for her to stay for a few more days.
The subtext, of course, is that it doesn't matter if you live there for the rest of your life.
In the middle of the night, Sang Luo was awakened by the noise outside.
She got dressed and went out. All the females and cubs gathered in the tribal square, and everyone's face was serious, solemn and urgent!
After asking around, Sang Luo found out that there was another tide of beasts outside.
...I really don't feel safe anywhere.
Fortunately, the scale of this beast tide is much smaller than the last time. The Thousand Elephant Tribe is a large tribe with a population of over ten thousand, and there are many high-level orc warriors. It is not a problem to resist this beast tide, but some manpower will be lost.
An orc came running over,
"Oh no! Call the witch doctor! Komu's leg was bitten off while trying to save Aya!"
Outside the tribe, most of the beast tide was repelled, and Aya hugged Kemu and cried bitterly.
"Don't cry... As a partner... I can trade my life for yours, and I'm... very satisfied..."
Komu reached out and wiped away the tears on Aya's face, his face full of happiness. "Aya, I know I'm not your best choice, you don't like me... but, you know... I, I really like you. When I was very young, I came to the Koldo tribe and saw you for the first time, and I fell in love with you... It's a pity that you have never seen me in your eyes... Even the partner was my persistent request, and you accepted me under pressure..."
"If I had been stronger back then, I would have been the one who saved you. Maybe you would have fallen in love with me at first sight..." Kemu said, coughing up several mouthfuls of blood, his voice growing weaker and weaker. "You see, I can save you, and I can die for you..."
"Stop talking. I don't dislike you. I, I like you too..." At this moment, Aya completely accepted Kemu in her heart, but it was too late. She burst into tears, "You must survive. I will give birth to a litter of little fox cubs for you..."
When Sang Luo arrived with the tribal witch doctor, Kemu was completely unconscious and dying. A bloody broken leg was right next to him. The scene was a bit nauseating.
In addition to a broken leg, Kemu also had multiple serious injuries. One bite wound penetrated his abdomen, and most of his internal organs were probably bleeding profusely.
Several orcs carried Kemu into the house. The witch doctor crushed many unknown herbs into juice, stuffed it into the wound, wrapped it with the herbal juice, and used white cloth to connect the broken leg.
This treatment method is too primitive and crude...
Looking at the sad expressions of the other people in the room, he knew that it was useless. Whether Kemu could survive depended entirely on God.
Sang Luo shook his head and sighed. This level of injury could probably be saved in the urban area of the Western Continent, but with the tribe's medical conditions, it would be difficult.
Even if they were rescued, their legs would likely be useless. A male with a broken leg would be unable to hunt and earn money, becoming the lowest class of crippled, abandoned by females and the tribe. It wouldn't be long before they died of depression.
"Let me try." Sang Luo walked forward and spoke. She didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but it was a life after all. Kemu and Lan Cang had a good relationship. They were brothers who had been through life and death together. She couldn't just sit back and watch.
There will be another update soon!
